"Speak the Word only," and my servant will be healed, says the Centurion to Jesus
 
Matthew 8

5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto HIM a centurion, beseeching HIM, 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that THOU shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, HE marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Luke 16

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

The Word from God is everything to us.

Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
 
God speaks to us by the Holy Scriptures and God speaks directly to us by the Holy Spirit bringing a thought to our minds.  Both are "Words" from God and to be heeded as such!
 
When we have that word from God, we have all that we need to go forward in this life.
 
God has spoken to me many times throughout the past years.
 
* "Get out of debt and stay out of debt."  (1975, after I was born again.)  
 
* In a dream, an angel of the Lord gave me instructions as follows: "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS" (Then the Holy Spirit said: "Call the radio station manager.")
 
I called the station manager at radio KWJS that morning as soon as the stationed opened.  I told him God might be showing me to go on radio, exhorting the church.  
I asked:  "How would you do that?"
 
The station manager said:  "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and send it to me and if you fit our broadcasting we will send you a contract."
 
(I made the tape that morning and took it to the post office and sent it to the station manager.  Within 5 days, I was broadcasting exhortations to the churches on radio station KWJS 5 days a week.) 
 
Even today as I write these words, I am strengthened in faith. 

Philemon v. 6  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus

After Internet began:

*  In 2012, God gave me a dream showing me to start publishing a blog exhorting the church daily.  In that dream, a woman was singing to a small group of people.  I heard her and said, "She has a little voice. But it is a nice little voice."

Truly a blog on Internet was a "nice little voice".
  
  - going all over the world instantly without any editing, exactly as I wrote it.
  - costing the ministry nothing to publish, whereas radio cost us between $800 a month and $2400 a month in the NYC area.  
  - Radio was one market per city and blog was all over the entire world. 
  - Blog was available ( from the day of publication until now, in a library type archive on line.)

(We have published to date 16,716 exhortations with a total of 1,642,820 downloads.)
 
February, 2020:  In a dream, in the night, God showed me to begin broadcasting Podcasts to exhort the church daily. We bought the needed equipment to record the Podcasts and began broadcasting episodes the first week in February in 2020.

To date, we have broadcast 1671 episodes with  114,061  downloads going all over this world.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

The word that comes down from above, is all we need!
 
It comes through the Holy Spirit who lives in us, reminding us of scriptures from the Holy Bible.  It also comes directly through thoughts carried to our minds by the Holy Spirit.
 
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
